Description
The default page listing is inadequate for sites utilise Pages as their main content type.
An option to collapse the page listing and hide "all" sub-pages (only showing top-level) would dramatically improve the UI making it easier to find pages within the WordPress structure.
Example:
Current Page View
Page 1 -SubPage 1.1 --SubSubPage 1.1.1 --SubSubPage 1.1.2 -SubPage 1.2 -SubPage 1.3 Page 2 -SubPage 2.1 -SubPage 2.2 --SubSubPage 2.2.1 --SubSubPage 2.2.2
Proposed Page View
Default View
Page 1 [+] (< click to expand) Page 2 [+]
Expanded View
Page 1 [-] -SubPage 1.1 [+] (< click to expand) -SubPage 1.2 -SubPage 1.3 Page 2 [+]
...
Page 1 [-] -SubPage 1.1 [-] --SubSubPage 1.1.1 --SubSubPage 1.1.2 (> no further levels) -SubPage 1.2 -SubPage 1.3 Page 2 [+]

Replying to scribu:
Relevant plugins (that I know of):
Page Tree is closer to the requirement laid out in this ticket Page Tree but is over simplified and doesn't replace the Page Edit screen - it creates a new, separate admin listing.

I'd like to see this in 3.3. Simple expand/collapse per nested level on the edit.php?post_type=page screen. If someone started working on a patch, maybe we could get it in early.

Another plugin: Advanced Page Manager.
Every solution I've seen so far is perfectly hideous. I'd like something that looks native: a view switcher icon on the Pages screen that would toggle a single-level page list. Pages with children would have an action row link or icon to display the child pages.
I have a stub of a new plugin over here, if anyone wants to work on this: https://github.com/sillybean/Hide-Deep-Pages

Closing as maybelater. Complete lack of interest on the feature on the ticket over the last 2 years. Feel free to reopen when more interest re-emerges (particularly if there's a patch). On the verge of plugin territory in my opinion.

I'll toss https://wordpress.org/plugins/bu-navigation/ into the mix for anyone coming across this ticket needing a good plugin suggestion for managing many, many pages.
